1-22Accessing an IRF Virtual DeviceAccessing the MasterAfter an IRF virtual device is formed, you can access the console of the IRF virtual device from the AUXor console port of any member device. Create a Layer 3 Ethernet interface, and configure an IP addressfor it, and make sure that the interface and the user terminal are routable to each other. Then you canaccess the IRF virtual device remotely through Telnet, Web, or SNMP.When you log in to the IRF virtual device, actually you log in to the master of the IRF virtual device. Themaster is the configuration and control center of an IRF virtual device. When you configure the IRFvirtual device on the master, the IRF virtual device synchronizes the configurations to the slaves.Accessing a SlaveWhen you log in to an IRF virtual device, actually you log in to the master. The operation interface of theaccess terminal displays the master console. To print the logs or debugging information of a slave,redirect to the specified slave device. After that, the user access terminal displays the console of theslave device instead of that of the master device. The system enters user view of the salve device andthe command prompt is changed to >, for example,. What you have input on the access terminal will be redirected to the specifiedslave device for processing. At present, only the following commands are allowed to be executed on aslave device:z displayz quitz returnz system-viewz debuggingz terminal debuggingz terminal trappingz terminal loggingTo return to the active SRPU of an IRF virtual device, use the quit command. At this time, the console ofthe active SRPU of the IRF virtual device is reactivated, and therefore it can output system informationand logs; you cannot use the quit command to return to the standby SRPU of the IRF virtual device.Follow these steps to log in to the specified slave device:To do… Use the command… RemarksEnter system view system-view —Log in to the specified slavedevice of an IRF virtual deviceirf switch-to chassis chassis-numberslot slot-numberRequiredBy default, you actually log in tothe master when you log in to theIRF virtual device.
